Ok... I have been wading through this for a couple of days now... I am attempting to get an auto install setup for the company I work for. I have managed to slipstream SP3, WMP11, IE7, some hot fixes just fine. I then moved on the using DPS_Base to put virtually every concievable driver in, and then RVM_integrator to put in a few addons (adobe, notepad++, firefox...). My issue is that I need to use the oempreinstall and the $oem$ folder to copy files over. now my install stops at the welcome screen... Is it possible to have it not stop at the Welcome screen while using the $oem$? here is my winnt.sif: ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated=0 UnattendedInstall="Yes" AutomaticUpdates=Yes [unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore NonDriverSigningPolicy=Ignore AutoActivate = No WaitForReboot = No NoWaitAfterTextMode = 1 NoWaitAfterGUIMode = 1 TargetPath=\WINDOWS Repartition=Yes UnattendedSwitch=Yes [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword="password" EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=20 OemSkipWelcome=1 AutoLogon=Yes AutoLogonCount=1 [userData] ProductID=00000-00000-00000-00000-00000 FullName="Name" OrgName="Name" ComputerName=* [Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=1024 YResolution=768 [identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP ;JoinDomain="Domain" insert your domain and remove the ; and add a ; in front of JoinWorkgroup ;DomainAdmin="admin" insert your domain admin name and remove the ; ;DomainAdminPassword="123" insert your domain admin password and remove the ; [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [WindowsFirewall] Profiles=WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall [WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall] Mode=0 [branding] BrandIEUsingUnattended=Yes [Proxy] Proxy_Enable=0 Use_Same_Proxy=0 [GUIRunOnce] command9="%SystemDrive%\DPsFnshr.exe" The identification stuff was added so when this is fully functioning I can send this out to our other remote sites. I am also trying to get some programs to install using runonceex.cmd and instructions found on this site...still struggling with this... Thanks in advance for any help!!!
